TRUE REST

-
In the Nazi camp Corrie ten boom said “When I look at the world iam distressed and when I look within myself im depressed. Only when I look at Christ im at rest”.

Today,
Our messages are spiritless;
Our communication become wireless;
Relationships are meaningless;
Terrorism has become ruthless;
Our generation Godless;
Altogether life seems purposeless.
Oh like fish out of water!

Christ red letter words is still alive to us in this post modern era. Christ says in Mat 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” what a real comfort for all who respond to this invitation. Those who come to him will not wander without purpose rather walk with purpose in life.

Iam truly the recipient of this promised rest.
Taste and see that the Lord is good.
God bless.

Absolutely true Clement I agree with you.. A man who always works hard for and with God is one who has privileges to be happy and to live his life without a depression... Just to add - it is said that Depression is the worst disease that a person can get. Let us be thankful for being chosen by someone who keeps us in comfort. God bless

Essentials During The Christmas Season (3.5 mins read)

LOVE – JOY – PEACE – HOPE LOVE Do we find true love in this world when all our relationships are failing? Love has become so complex and twisted for those who live in this generation. The love we show or receive today is strings attached with a lot of expectations. The Bible describes the state of love vividly in Mat 24:12 “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold”. Christmas message is something special and warm that reminds us God so loved us that he gave his only son to be born in this world and that he should die for us one day for the forgiveness of our sins on the cross. He was born to die for all of us. What an amazing sacrificial love it is. JOY The well-known song  Joy to the World  exhorts its listeners with these words: “Let earth receive her King; let every heart prepare Him room,” meaning that each person is called to embrace Jesus Christ, as both Savior and King. Luke 2: 10 “ And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you g

Our response to Covid19 - Fear or Faith?

-
Life in this trouble some days are fearful and uncertain. We are living in difficult times. Faith will be tested and proved and for some it could be shaken. On the outset life seems living on the edge crippled with fear. Where we are heading towards and what are we going to achieve in this world? “No one knows”. Till now we were all chasing after the wind. Now, Life seems to be still and meaningless. We have faced uncertainties every time and it is filled with sorrow and questions. Covid19 has taken the Center stage in the world arena. Everyone’s focus are now set on the statistics that corona brings into human history. The death toll is alarmingly increasing, and the hope of people were set on finding a way out from this menace. Living life amidst all these challenges makes us feel so weak and sick. Eat, fun, celebrate are all have tossed up and have become not so attractive words to us. Fear has robbed our fun. Trust in God has lost its grip and self-reliance has taken i

TEN REMINDERS TO PREPARE FOR THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON (5 min read)

-
1.     Know the Reason for this Season. Mat 1:21 – “ She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Jesus is the reason for this season. Not Santa, music, or anyone should be the focus in this season. Jesus, the One who holds all things together, chose to enter this world in the humblest form—a small, helpless babe. Jesus’ birth is the greatest gift we will ever receive, which is why we celebrate! 2.     Saturate your hearts by Reading God’s Word. Let us read the Gospels, especially the birth narrative passages to warm our hearts during this season. You version offers the 25-day advent reading plan for those who need it handy to read and meditate. The question is, do we desire to read God’s word during this season though plenty of versions are available for us to read? To read the whole story of Jesus’ birth, someone suggests this order below. Luke 1:26-38 Luke 2:1-7 Matthew 1:18-25 Luke 2:
